Rise of the Roman Warlord

10 episodes

Go to the full screening

A displaced strategist awakens as a Roman estate holder and uses future history to crush the senate and seize power.

Bruce loses his former life and wakes as a lowly Roman landowner in the late Republic. Julius Caesar is still a child, giving Bruce a rare window before the future dictator ascends. He carries knowledge of wars, alliances, and betrayals that no senator or general possesses. Rather than bow to the patrician class, he turns that foresight into a weapon against the rigid hierarchy. The stakes rise as he pits his modern cunning against men who believe the Republic will last forever.

Motifs

  1. Foreknowledge of Roman history
  2. Minor estate holder status
  3. Ruthless modern strategy
